Note:

• Given the continuing challenges related to COVID-19 and the difficulty of obtaining/processing paper transcripts, it is recommended that applicants order official transcripts that can be sent electronically from their previous institutions to UBC, rather than by mail, where possible.
• Vanier CGS requires official transcripts – unofficial transcripts are not accepted for non-UBC transcripts.  For details on transcript requrements, applicants are recommended to review our Vanier webpage (section ‘ Application Procedures’).
